After arranging the investment work, Ouyang Bian's eyes returned to the military.

This is not the mainland, it is the place where the Song Dynasty and Xixia fight. Not long ago, this is the place where the army of both sides fights.

Not to mention that the fortress has not been built yet, even if it is built, it may not be able to be truly solid.

Before the Song Dynasty achieved Hengshan, there was no way to truly stick to Shaanxi.

Therefore, Ouyang Bian would not place the lives of such a large number of merchants who came to this land because of their trust in him on the border troops of the Song Dynasty.

Although there were respectable people in the army of the Song Dynasty, most of them were unsightly, and there were all kinds of strange things.

Ouyang Bian really couldn't believe them. Even if the fortress was built, it might not be able to trust them.

Qingzhou Industrial Park is the starting point of all Ouyang Bian’s plans, and this industrial park must not be missed!

Therefore, Ouyang Bian wants to build a big city!

If the Qingzhou Industrial Park is built into a big city, it can rely on a small amount of troops to defend the industrial achievements. Even if the outer castle is captured, the Qingzhou Industrial Park can still survive on its own strength.

Regarding this matter, Ouyang Bian summoned Lu Caiwei, Yu Mou, Jiang Rucheng, Yang Dechang, Lin Tong and others to discuss the matter together.

"Want to build a city?"

Yang Dechang couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

No wonder Yang Dechang was surprised. The Qingzhou Industrial Park covers an area of ​​up to ten square kilometers, which is about 15,000 acres, while the prosperous city of Bianjing, which is only 34 square kilometers.

Now Ouyang Bian said that he wanted to build a big city that was equivalent to one-third of Bianjing!

How much does it cost to such a big city?

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Actually it's not that exaggerated. Now the water supply and drainage of Qingzhou Industrial Park are already being planned. These were originally something to be done, and the construction inside was built by land buyers and merchants raised funds. Now what we need to build is just a city wall."

Lin Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Just like this city wall alone, I don't know how much it will cost."

Ouyang Bian looked at Jiang Rucheng, who is the expert here.

Jiang Rucheng smiled and said, "In fact, it is not that exaggerated. If it were built according to the previous method, it would not cost much. For example, when the Bianliang City was built, about 600,000 workers were mobilized, and the allocated money was actually only 700,000 to 800,000 jin.

Of course, most of the manpower comes from the imperial guards and the wing troops, and through the collection of corvee labor, the cost of manpower is not calculated.

If labor is counted, it may be as many as six or seven million.

However, before, building a city required mining bricks and stones, which consumed a lot of manpower, and various construction equipment at that time were also backward, so it was normal to use so much labor.

Today, it is actually not that difficult to build a big city, and it will not cost so much. Think about it, Xihu City Company has built Xihu City all over the country. Each Xihu City is about one-twenty-twenty-sized Bianjing City, which is much larger than many cities.

The matter of building a city is not a difficult task for Xihucheng Engineering Company, and it does not cost much. If you simply build a city wall, you can get it for about two million yuan!"

Ouyang Bian nodded and asked, "If this is the case, it is worth repairing. By then, the annual output value of the entire Qingzhou Industrial Park will definitely exceed tens of millions of guan. For safety, these two millions of guan are worth spending!"

Lin Tong and Yang Dechang looked at each other, and Yang Dechang said, "Then where does this money come from?"

Ouyang Bian looked at Lu Caiwei and said, "This money should be paid by Qingzhou. Of course, if you need a loan from the Agricultural Bank of China, please use the commercial tax from Qingzhou Industrial Park as the mortgage."

Lu Caiwei smiled and said, "Well, yes, the interest will definitely be given a discount."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Brother Lu, how many companies have been confirmed to be in the industrial park now?"

Lu Bing answered: "There are about 300 large and small enterprises, mainly enterprises that focus on manufacturing terminals, and most of the upstream enterprises have not yet entered."

Ouyang Bian frowned: "This is not possible. There must be upstream, middle and downstream enterprises here. Whether it is raw materials or semi-finished products, you must find suppliers here. Only in this way can you truly form a scale advantage and minimize the cost. Brother Lu, you have to spend some effort. If it is really not possible, please help the Song Chamber of Commerce recommend some upstream enterprises and ask them to enter."

Yang Dechang and Lin Tong quickly said: "Our Chamber of Commerce will arrange this, please rest assured Lord Ouyang."

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "This is the best."

With the assistance of Yang Dechang and Lin Tong, more and more companies are willing to enter.

Ouyang Bian spends energy on the progress of the industrial zone every day.

The industrial zone is the key to his overall strategy, so he is very concerned about it.

However, dealing with merchants is only the first step, and the most difficult thing lies in the weak foundation of Yongxing’s military route.

The destruction of war here for so many years has made the road and economic foundation very weak, and the frequent recruitment of troops has made the local males fewer than in other places.

Jiang Rucheng discovered this problem when recruiting migrant workers, and had no choice but to transfer engineering teams from other places.

To develop Yongxing Jun Road, this official road must be developed first, because whether it is a fortress or an industrial park, a large amount of materials are needed to build.

Fortunately, the main material is cement. Lu Caiwei has already allowed the largest Hainiao Cement Factory in the Song Dynasty to settle in Yongxingjun Road. In order to supply the large-scale construction of Yongxingjun Road, a large-scale cement factory was built near Qingzhou City, which specializes in supplying industrial parks.

The cement of the fortress was built to supply another cement factory, and as for the cement required for the official road, a dedicated supply was built in each big city.

In other words, Hainiao Cement Factory is the largest cement factory in the Song Dynasty and a giant cultivated by Xihu City for many years. It has formed a great understanding with Xihu City Engineering Company, otherwise it would not be able to keep up with the pace of construction.

The fortress has not yet been seen. After all, it is necessary to accumulate materials and agree to build it within the specified time, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of Xixia.

The official roads and industrial areas are being built quickly.

Someone reported to Ouyang Bian that he had discovered the traces of the Xixia spy, but he could not see any reaction from Xixia.

But it is normal. Industrial areas are not military facilities. Everyone knows that Xixia is afraid of military facilities, and they do not have the energy to attack commercial facilities.

However, it is also because of the invasion of Xixia that it seems that Xixia has gained a bargain, but in fact it consumes a lot of money on Xixia's national strength.

Although the Song Dynasty was looted for hundreds of miles, it was originally a strategic place to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and there was actually nothing to rob.

Some soldiers and generals were killed, but they were not as bad as they were injured. They just didn't look good in terms of face.

So not to mention that the Song Dynasty was building an industrial zone at this time, even if the fortress was built, they might not be able to mobilize troops to come.

To be honest, Xixia has few people and poor people. Apart from being a little arrogant, it is really incomparable to a tall, rich and handsome man like the Song Dynasty.
